$2.5 trillion...more like 5T...its all borrowed money to begin with. Bloated Govt Beuracracies should not be involved in giving taxpayer funded charity to other nations. Its absurd.

Jeffrey Sachs a "contrast to the hyperbole and rhetoric" of Easterly? You must be kidding...

%u201CThe essence of Africa's crisis is fundamentally its extreme poverty.%u201D (J. Sachs)

Now, THAT's insightful....

I am genuinely shocked that economic dinosaurs like Dr. Easterly still exist in academia. Luckily for the rest of us, the dangerous oversimplifications, ignorance of facts and extremely fallacious reasoning that is presented in this video clearly speaks for itself.

I hope that one day we can find Dr. Sachs on Bigthink speaking to international development and direct foreign aid. His ideas on world poverty would be a great contrast to the hyperbole and rhetoric used by Dr. Easterly.
